“Wonder Woman 3” (2025): Rumors and the Truth Behind the Highly Anticipated Project
March 24, 2025 – Wonder Woman 3, starring Gal Gadot as Diana Prince and Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne (Batman), has captured the attention of the film-loving community following Warner Bros.’ announcement of its production. Initial reports suggest this will be an action-packed adventure where Diana and Bruce must team up to confront an “ancient evil” that has awakened, threatening to destroy the world. But how much of this information is accurate, and how much is mere unverified rumor? Let’s dive into the facts and fiction surrounding this story.
The Rumor: Gadot and Affleck Unite for a New Blockbuster
According to circulating details, Wonder Woman 3 is touted as the return of Gal Gadot as the legendary Amazonian warrior, alongside Ben Affleck reprising his role as Batman—a pairing that previously delighted fans in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU). The plot reportedly centers on a life-or-death battle against an ancient foe, promising to push both heroes to their limits. The chemistry between Gadot and Affleck, a highlight of films like Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League, is expected to bring fresh depth to the story and draw massive audiences to theaters.
This news immediately sparked excitement among DC fans. With the success of Wonder Woman (2017)—which grossed over $824 million globally—and curiosity about the franchise’s direction following its restructuring under James Gunn and Peter Safran at DC Studios, Wonder Woman 3 seems like a major promise on the horizon.
The Truth: No Confirmed Project Yet
However, as of today (March 24, 2025), there has been no official announcement from Warner Bros. or DC Studios confirming that Wonder Woman 3 is in production with Gal Gadot and Ben Affleck. In fact, the status of this film remains a big question mark amid significant changes in the DCU’s plans.
Back in December 2022, a version of Wonder Woman 3 directed by Patty Jenkins was canceled after its script didn’t align with the new direction of DC Studios. Although Gal Gadot expressed hope in a 2023 interview that she’d continue the role alongside Gunn and Safran, sources from Variety and The Hollywood Reporter have stated there are no concrete plans for a third installment. Furthermore, Ben Affleck officially stepped away from the Batman role after The Flash (2023), and DCU is set to introduce a new Batman in The Brave and the Bold, making Affleck’s return highly unlikely.
The storyline about an “ancient evil” also lacks any official backing. It’s possible this detail stems from fan imagination or fabricated content on social media, such as unofficial teasers from YouTube channels like KH Studio.
Wonder Woman’s Future in the DCU
Currently, DC Studios is focused on building a new universe under the leadership of James Gunn and Peter Safran. Major projects like Superman: Legacy (set for release in July 2025) and the Paradise Lost series (exploring Themyscira before Diana’s time) are top priorities. If Wonder Woman returns in the DCU, it might be a fresh take with a different actress rather than a continuation of Gadot’s storyline.
That said, Diana Prince’s appeal remains undiminished. Fans continue to hope that, in some form, the Amazonian warrior will soon grace the big screen again with a story worthy of her legacy.
Conclusion
The details surrounding Wonder Woman 3 with Gal Gadot and Ben Affleck, while tantalizing, remain unverified rumors for now. As the DCU undergoes a transformation, audiences will need to wait for an official statement from Warner Bros. to confirm whether this film will come to fruition. For the moment, it’s all just a beautiful dream for fans imagining a grand reunion between Wonder Woman and Batman.
